Ingredients

Flatbread and Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes plus more for topping
  • 1 x 8x10" flatbread

Toppings

  • ⅓ cup low sugar BBQ sauce
  • 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded or cubed rotisserie chicken or thinly sliced chicken breast
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

For Topping

  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons avocado green goddess dressing (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare for crisping the flatbread.
  2. Prepare Oil Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, pressed garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes for a flavorful brush-on seasoning.
  3. Brush and Crisp Flatbread: Brush the oil mixture evenly over the top of the flatbread. Place the flatbread directly on the bottom rack of the oven for about 10 minutes to achieve a crispy crust. For a softer crust, place the flatbread on a baking sheet instead.
  4. Assemble Toppings: Remove the crisped flatbread from the oven and place it on a baking sheet. Spread an even layer of BBQ sauce over the crust. Layer on shredded mozzarella cheese (reserve some for later), chicken, sliced red bell pepper, and red onion. Add the remaining mozzarella and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake Topped Flatbread: Return the flatbread to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a browned cheese topping, switch the oven to broil in the last 5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  6. Add Fresh Toppings and Serve: Once baked, top the flatbread with chopped cilantro, a drizzle of extra BBQ sauce, and avocado green goddess dressing. Slice into 9 equal pieces and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a softer crust, place the flatbread on a baking sheet instead of directly on the oven rack during the initial crisping.
  • Use leftover rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken breast to quickly assemble this meal.
  • The avocado green goddess dressing adds a fresh, creamy element—feel free to adjust the amount based on your taste preference.
  • Additional red pepper flakes can be sprinkled on top for extra heat.
  • To make this dish vegetarian, substitute the chicken with grilled vegetables and omit chicken.
